I think discrimination is the wrong word for what they feel. If one looks at the power structures of the nation, whites rule. Government and business is dominated by white folks so it's hard to imagine that racial discrimination is the cause of their discomfort. Given that the percentage of whites who feel discriminated against rises as their income falls, one could say that what they are feeling is economic malaise.
While hard work used to be rewarded with a higher standard of living, that is no longer the case. One can now work ones whole life and not gain any economic traction.
I would say to those white folks who feel discriminated against.....this is chickens coming home to roost. You have supported the party of trickle down and it's policies and this is what trickle down feels like. You are not being discriminated against, you are being treated just the same as all the other folks who no longer see a way of getting ahead. Your share of the economic pie has gotten smaller as wealth has been transferred to the elites for the past 3 decades. It's not discrimination....it's being pissed on by the folks you looked to for help. Welcome to the poor house.

No....liberals know that trickle down is a myth. We know that capitalism needs regulation or leads to social unrest through unequal distribution of resources.

Yes, I agree. My point to the black racist was the Democrat party are the ring leaders of the new world order. They are guilty as sin for their crimes against humanity. It's the Democrat party that is controlling all the money, the educational system, the MSM and the government. The human suffering taking place today can be laid at the feet of the Marxist Democrat party and the Rino neocon pals.

Democrats control the government? And here I thought we were in the worst shape since 1929 as a political party. Can't have it both ways.
Black racist? Any proof that I am either black or a racist?

Please learn the difference between Capitalism and Crony Capitalism. Also, through history, all the civil unrest and mass murder of humanity has been at the hands of the Communist, Socialist and dictators, not the Capitalist.
Make no mistake about this, the crony capitalist like Bill Gates, Soros, Steyer, Zuckerberg etc etc and all the central bankers want to incorporate a global Communist system in order to make sure they pull up the ladder behind themselves leaving all the current billionaire elites on top of the food chain. You see, only in a Capitalist system can someone raise themselves from poverty to wealth with hard work and a creative mind. In a leftist controlled communist or socialist system, the only people who do not live in poverty are the elites who control the government. Just read your history.,

Yes, re-read your original post. Also, I am nonconforming to either party, so your partisan BS does not work with me!

If you read my post as a piece of 'black racism' then there is no reason to continue this discussion. It was about how whites say they feel discriminated against, and why they may be mis-identifying their feelings
And I know the difference between crony capitalism and the other variations. You throwing 'racist' into the mix is just a non-sequitor.

No, your entire post is an attack on whites for being white. Actually, it reeks of racism, hatred and retribution. Yes, no need to carry this conversation any further as its going to get nasty.
